## Inserting Q-DAS Tracefields

Select Insert | Statistics Command | Q-DAS Tracefields to insert the Q-DAS trace fields. This option inserts the trace fields for K-fields whose "Value From" properties are set to "TRACE" in the Setup K-Field Configuration window of the Q-DAS Configurator.

Q-DAS trace fields help you create measurement routines that support Q-DAS statistical software. For information on the Q-DAS Configurator, see the Q-DAS Configurator documentation.

Before you insert Q-DAS trace fields, you need to create a STATS/ON,Q-DAS,DFQ command. For information, see "Sending Statistics to a Q-DAS Database".

After you insert Q-DAS trace fields, if you update the Q-DAS configuration file (<name>.qdascfg.xml), you must re-insert the Q-DAS trace fields.

Here's an example of some Q-DAS trace fields in the Edit window:

QDAS_TRACEFIELDS=GROUP/SHOWALLPARAMS=No

EXECUTION CONTROL=AS MARKED

ENDGROUP/ID=QDAS_TRACEFIELDS

To expand the group, you can change SHOWALLPARAMS from No to Yes.

QDAS_TRACEFIELDS=GROUP/SHOWALLPARAMS=YES

EXECUTION CONTROL=AS MARKED
